THURSDAY 27TH NOVEMBER 2025 | 7PM | TICKETS

We are very happy to welcome back excellent Hastings promoter and music journalist Ben Thompson to put on his second event here in Brighton. He is responsible for putting on a lot of the raddest shows in Hastings as well as hosting The London Ear show on Resonance FM for the last 20 years.

SCATTERFON

Scatterfon are a deft and captivating improvisational trio pitched somewhere between Virginia Astley and Cream. 

Three established composers - BAFTA-nominated soundtrack artist Hutch Demouilpied, Monument Valley 3 sound designer Lucie Treacher and mercurial songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Otti Albietz - committing themselves fully to the moment, Scatterfon’s first gig was closing the show at this year’s Two Ship Festival of Improvised Music in Hastings, where they followed a host of free music luminaries, including Maggie Nicols and David Toop, by taking the crowd to places they had never been before. This will be their second show.

GEOFF HEARN

Safehouse co-architect Geoff Hearn will need no introduction to denizens of the Rose Hill but it will be a joy to experience his artistry in this fresh context. 

EFFECTIVE WORD ORDER

Effective Word Order were described in the following glowing terms in John Robb’s Louder Than War review of their first gig at 2023’s Sonics all-dayer: “Rammellzee-inspired robot prankster whose amazing performance somehow bridges the gap between Glenn Branca and Slipknot”. Since then they have inscribed a fierce arc across the south coast experimental music firmament, playing with like-minded artists from Beau Flies to Einsturzende Neubauten’s Alexander Hacke. November 27th will mark their Brighton debut.
